Sorry for the late catch, but:

the package zaptel contains the binary ztcfg, without which none of the
zaptel modules can function (though I have a pending patch to give
default configuration to analog Zaptel channels without the use of
ztcfg).

So at the price of a error in the postinst (which has been supressed to
a warning in later versions of the package) you get correct package
dependencies.

How else can you express here a relation? Zaptel recommends a
zaptel-modules package?
